  • Russia diesel export ban pushes prices up, squeezes global supply
    July 11, 2026, 6:55 AM EDT. Russia's diesel export ban this week is tightening the global diesel market, sending prices up fast even as the U.S. and Europe have stopped buying Russian barrels since the Ukraine war. Diesel is needed for industry, trucks, and power. U.S. ultra-low sulphur diesel futures jumped 11% to $154 a barrel. European gasoil is trading at record premiums to Brent. Russia is the world's number-two diesel exporter, so this move cuts into world supply, leaving buyers like Brazil and Turkey fighting harder for U.S. cargoes. The market is also feeling the pinch from Western refinery cuts, continued demand after the pandemic, and worries over Middle East flows with tensions near the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. distillate stocks fell by more than 4.5 million barrels last week, signaling the tight market persists.
